lyrics

This is the closest the FOBs came to singing musical theater, with Ann and Bert going into character and trading lines with an ensemble cast. And get this - Ann has since created a full musical theater production of her play Other World, in which the theme is getting lost in a Virtual Reality game! We're confident you will all be able to see it once Covid is well behind us. Words and music by Ann McNamee.

What game are we playing? Are we both having fun?
What game are we playing? Who's keeping score, who won?

Are you sure the sides are even? I think the deck is stacked
Aren't you used to breaking hearts and never giving them back?
What game are we playing? Are we both having fun?
What game are we playing? Who's keeping score, who won?

You can talk about the passion, I can't throw it all away
There are diamonds on your hands, I think I've lost my way
You thought the rules were simple and the game would finish soon
But you still don't know much about me I know nothin' 'bout you

You thought the rules were simple and the game would finish soon
But you still don't know much about me I know nothin' 'bout you

No the sides were never even, the deck was always stacked
You never really kissed me I never kissed you back
What game are we playing? Are we both having fun?
What game are we playing? Who's keeping score, who won?
